"it takes drunk driving to a whole new level." kenton county

attorney rob sanders says his office is seeing a drugged driving case almost daily. that his office backed up with cases. "these are not easy cases to prosecute, they often require blood tests that must be sent out." meantime, in clermont county... sheriff's deputies regularly find evidence of heroin use in cars. "syringes..uh tie- offs. the daily patrol shift has taken on a new tone...as deputies watch for drivers high behind the wheel. and what's so terrifying for unsuspecting tri- state drivers, many of these cases happened during the day....when you were driving your kids to school, going to work, running errands. "that's when they typically are going to get the drugs in the daytime, they're going to where they need to get the drug." "as soon as they get the drug, they want to take the drug." and experts say unlike drunk driving where it takes time for alcohol to affect the user. heroin -- once ingested -- almost immediately

quickly become unconscious. like this wife who police say injected her husband with heroin, while he then passed out. were also in the car. police say to stay we all need to be some signs a driver might be high. quick acceleration or deceleration tailgating erratic braking inconsistent signaling falling asleep it's a harsh reality we need to consider every time we get on the road.

did you know--some online retailers

using a mac, you may be paying more for that plane ticket or hotel room! even office supplies can cost more or less, depending where you live! it's thanks to something called "dynamic pricing"where prices are fluid, depending on who's looking at them. when you visit a retailer's websitethey mine data from you using things like what kind of computer using, where you're

browsing history. according to the wall street journal, travel site "orbitz" used that information to charge certain customers more for hotel rooms. orbitz knew from data that mac users were willing to pay up to 30% more for hotels, so they reportedly steered those people towards pricier ones to net bigger commissions. time magazine reported that delta airlines charged frequent flyers up to $300 more for the same fare as other passengers. the idea being, apparently, frequent flyers traveling for business would be willing to pay more. but it's not just travel. the wall street journal found that staples, home depot, lowe's and other retailers used location datato set different prices for different customers. and amazon has used dynamic pricing. the "econsultancy" group found amazon changes its prices every ten minutes based on the data it collects. amazon's ceo says those price changes are driven by supply and demand, not customer data. but amazon did have to issue refunds after angry customers figured out they'd

other shoppers for the same dvd. so how do companies get away with this? well, dynamic pricing is only illegal if it's based on race, gender, religion, or nationality. but there are a few tricks for working around dynamic pricing. firsttry doing your shopping using different web browsers and devices to see if you get different prices! you can also try setting your browser to private mode, so you aren't sharing your data with retailers, and try using a few different zip codes to see if the price changes. once you do buy something, use a price tracker like "camel camel camel" for amazon, or price zombie. if you see a lower price later, call customer service and ask them to refund the difference! for fox 19 now and simply money, i'm nathan bachrach. live wx tease sot "steve weather animation"
